Hi. I have quick question to you guys, those which done already ppf over marble. I done one gloss table and one gloss counter top in office. With those two I had minor issues about contamination which came from micro cracks in marble, but were easy to fish them. 

 

And now I doing kitchen which have matte finish marbles... I done table today and have big issue with contamination. Every single lifting of material is leaving "sand" on adhesive, but amount of it and gradation is impossible to clean it 🤯 and lifting I mean before squeegee it, just to put more slip solution under film... Does anyone had similar experience? 🤔 

When installing on natural stone. It it very important to not lift once its applied and to squeegee before the grains of the stone lift up.

Did you end up going through with this? I'm looking into getting into the same industry but I did fall into one problem. Usual car ppf is made out of a softer material so when I installed it on my table it made the table feel more like ppf than table if you know what I mean. It's also grippier so it held onto my glassware, tableware, etc when I moved it across the table. I tried looking at StoneGuard and they use a different material that's glossier and slicker? Do you know what this material might be? 

 Yes I did, and honestly the results have been better than expected. No Staining and makes cleaning maintenance so much easier for the client, locking in that brand new appearance. In regards to the 'grip' on the surface. It all depends on the type of film.

I'll be attending June 7t, looking forward to networking and seeing innovative avenues within the industry

There is a new social networking platform where like minded individuals within the same field get together and network strictly business within the field via voice. Wanted to see if anyone is using the networking app.

There is a product called StoneGuard and it was designed specifically for natural porous stone.  It is patented and recommended and used all over North America.  There website is www.Stoneguardusa.com.

Thank you for the information, I've contacted them and received samples as well. I look forward to working with them in the future.

Why don't you start offering PPF for toilets while you're at it?

very interesting. I'd like to know too.
Can I ask you what kind of paper you used in that photo to create the pattern? Do you have some link where I can find it?

I believe it is Transfer Paper,

How long should we expect the PPF to last being that different cleaners such as Clorox and windex are being used as cleaning agents? Is it warranted for 10 years still?

I don't recommend using clorox or windex as cleaning agents for stone even on PPF... those cleaners are too harsh. Maybe something more neutral like maybe a self made cleaner with a bit of dawn in it.

Can I install PPF on marble?

 

 

It is possible, did you install PPF on this marble surface?

This doesn't sound wise.  What is the reason you'd want to?

 

To protect stone surfaces, an average sealant can only last 6-12 months. There is defiantly a market for residential surface protection.

I have covered 4 round marble tables and they are holding fine, been a few years now.

Perfect for Marble!! especially the fact that Marble can stain/etch very easily. 

I have found there is a sort of PPF for Stone Surfaces such as 'TuffSkin' and 'StoneGuard' when they have sent me samples. I have noticed that the film is very similar to PPF. But their 'stone' film is very over priced. 

Did you use alcohol/water solution to install?

Absolutely.  There's an existing market for this.  We've actually got an antimicrobial film that we primarily use in this application being that it is usually near food prep areas.

Yes I believe there is a strong market for this type of surface protection, its still early on but it will come up. This is what my business is tackling, especially with all the new home construction in my side of FL. In regards to the film that you have used, how long in duration will the film last after application?

Thanks

Hi everyone, wanted to see if anyone has used PPF on Natural Stone such as Granite, Marble etc. If so, how long did it last on the surface and what were your outcomes with installation. 

Thanks
